* Possibly the most infamous example of the godlike insert -- the [[Trope Codifier]] for the godlike SI, if not the [[Trope Maker]] -- is Darren "Twister" Steffler and his incomplete mid-1990s megaseries ''[https://archives.eyrie.org/anime/Twisted-Path/ Twisted] [https://puck.nether.net/~sakura/tpath/ Path]''. Steffler's work started out rather crude but improved noticeably as he continued writing, although it never quite reached better than high average in quality. Nevertheless, ''Twisted Path'' was incredibly influential, prompting a number of other writers to create their own Self-Insert or pseudo-Self-Insert fics, many of which included [[Shout-Out]]s to ''Twisted Path'' or blatantly set themselves in the [[:File:Crossovers.jpg|same multiverse]]. |

** Another is Ed Becerra's ''[[Legion's Quest]]'', which carefully and skillfully walks the complicated line between playing a godlike Self Insert straight, parodying it, and subverting it. It, too, crosses over explicitly with ''Twisted Path'', in its own ''[[Bubblegum Crisis]]'' segment. |
